Topic B: Biotechnological applications to improve the utilisation of biomass
We are seeking to join a consortium with expertise in biotechnology. Our activities focus on (1) biomass pretreatment, and (2) application research and material performance testing.
We offer pilot-scale biomass pretreatment capabilities, including steam explosion and thermo-mechanical pulping, enabling the conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks into fibers and fractions suitable for subsequent biotechnological or material processing.
In addition, we provide expertise in the formulation and application development of bio-based adhesives, coatings, and composite materials. Our accredited laboratories can provide testing of mechanical performance and biological durability (against fungi, mold, and bacteria), complemented by outdoor weathering assessments under controlled in-ground and above-ground conditions.
